The complexity of city life often leaves us little time to stop, think, and connect with ourselves. Come to the Lab and let Swanhild Maaß (Chen School for Taijiquan) introduce you to the Chinese practice of meditation, movement patterns, and martial art.

Lab Team member Rachel Smith introduces the topic of the day: Cars and the City. What is the future of parking with the imminent rise of electric cars in cities? What new problems do electric cars add to the parking dilemma?

These days, there are fewer and fewer excuses to leave your bike at home. Join us for a test ride to compare regular bikes with eBikes, and help collect data for the very first "No Excuse Zone Map" of Berlin.

How can you define and narrate the abstract issue of urban climate change, particularly concerning mobility? The different lectures this afternoon are linked to that question and are part of Climate Media Factory’s “Tell Your City” project.

Parking hasn’t changed much over the last 100 years. With an increasing density of urban space and in the wake of e-mobility, there is an urgent need for new ideas and concepts. If we could change parking, what would we do and why?
